Terms of Service
THE OPTION TRACKER TERMS OF SERVICE Last Updated: September 30, 2025
Welcome to The Option Tracker (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company”), an educational data platform providing subscription-based options trading alerts, insights, and data for informational and learning purposes only. By accessing or using our website at www.theoptiontracker.com (“Website”) or any services, including SMS-based alerts, Weekly Insights, Weekly Data, Monthly Trends, Monthly Statistical Analysis, and optional white papers (“Services”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Website or Services.
THE SERVICES ARE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. OPTIONS TRADING INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR TOTAL LOSS OF INVESTMENT. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY.
Acceptance of Terms
1.1 Agreement to Terms By accessing or using the Website or Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy (available at www.theoptiontracker.com/privacy), SMS-specific terms for our Constant Contact messaging service, and any referenced policies (collectively, the “Agreement”). We may update these Terms at our discretion, effective upon posting to the Website and notice via email, SMS, or Website announcement. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance. To reject updates, cancel your account within 15 days as per Section 6.4. If you disagree with updated Terms, discontinue use immediately.
1.2 Eligibility You must be at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to enter contracts under applicable law. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and are not barred from using the Services under any laws.
1.3 Geographic Restrictions The Services are intended primarily for use in the United States and are not available in jurisdictions where prohibited, including countries under U.S. sanctions (e.g., Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, or certain regions of Ukraine). We may block access from such areas using IP detection, and continued use may result in account termination. You warrant that you are not located in these jurisdictions and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including consumer protection regulations.
1.4 International Users Services are provided in English, with payments in U.S. dollars. International users are responsible for currency conversion fees, exchange rate fluctuations, additional charges by payment providers, and compliance with local laws regarding financial education and options trading.
Nature of Services
2.1 Service Overview The Option Tracker provides educational options trading alerts, Weekly Insights, Weekly Data, Monthly Trends, and Monthly Statistical Analysis to inform Users about market activity for learning purposes only. These are not trade recommendations or financial advice. Alerts focus on significant option price movements (e.g., block trades) identified via our proprietary methodology. Weekly Insights cover economic data, sector performance, and market movers. Weekly Data summarizes real-time option flow trends. Monthly Trends provide post-OPEX (option expiration) analysis of option activity. Monthly Statistical Analysis offers a comprehensive overview of market trends, with optional academic-level white papers available by emailing information@theoptiontracker.com. A future tracking feature will allow Users to receive SMS alerts for selected trades at every plus or minus 5% value change (configurable 3%–10%, default 5%), to be announced via Website, email, or SMS.
2.2 Frequency of Services Alert frequency varies by market conditions, risk level, and Days to Expiration (DTE). Lower-risk, longer DTE trades (e.g., 60+ days) may have slower price movements, while shorter DTE, medium-to-high-risk trades (e.g., <30 days) may yield 1–20+ alerts daily on active market days. Weekly Insights and Weekly Data are emailed every Sunday. Monthly Trends are sent post-OPEX (third Friday of each month). Monthly Statistical Analysis is emailed at month-end. White paper subscribers (via information@theoptiontracker.com) receive monthly academic-level reports. The future tracking feature may increase alert frequency for opted-in Users. Manage preferences in account settings when available.
2.3 No Strict Pattern Alerts have no fixed schedule, as they respond to market conditions. Selection, timing, and frequency are at our sole discretion, based on market activity, trading volume, and our methodology. Users should not expect consistent patterns and must independently monitor trades and markets. The upcoming tracking feature will provide structured alerts for selected trades, subject to market conditions and our discretion.
2.4 Bid/Ask Dynamics and Order Fills Alerts are priced at the ask or bid-ask midpoint, based on real-time analysis of liquidity, spreads, and industry-standard feeds (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv), with algorithms kept confidential. SMS alerts are sent as quickly as processed, subject to network or third-party provider (e.g., Twilio) delays (see Section 4.6). Users must verify their trading platform’s compatibility with alerted price increments (e.g., $1.07 vs. $1.05/$1.10), as broker capabilities vary. We typically round to .05 increments unless market conditions require otherwise. Due to market dynamics (liquidity, spreads, timing, latency, broker policies), prices may differ upon receipt or execution, and exact fills are not guaranteed. Users are responsible for confirming platform compatibility and managing risks. Contact support@theoptiontracker.com for guidance, though no refunds or liability adjustments apply except per Section 6.6.
2.5 Risk Profile of Services Most alerts are medium to high risk, as lower-risk trades are less common among tracked investors. Alerts near earnings seasons or low DTE ETF out-of-the-money options (e.g., 7–14 days) are riskier due to volatility. Weekly Insights, Weekly Data, Monthly Trends, and Monthly Statistical Analysis educate on market dynamics but do not reduce trading risks. The tracking feature will not mitigate risks. Users must independently assess risks, as Services are educational only.
2.6 Monthly Statistical Analysis and White Papers The Monthly Statistical Analysis, which we send out via email at the end of each month, and the optional white papers, which we will send out via email to subscribers and post on our Website, are created utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), our proprietary data, and other resources to compile and analyze information for educational purposes. These materials may not always be 100% accurate, and they have not been vetted or approved by any academic institutions for their academic insights or results related to our data and SMS alert system. Users should not rely on them as definitive or authoritative sources and must independently verify any information before making trading decisions.
Risk Assessment and Classification
3.1 Inherent Risks of Options Trading Options trading is inherently risky, and all Services, even “low risk” alerts, carry significant risks, including total loss of investment. Market volatility can cause rapid price changes and substantial losses. Trading decisions are at your sole risk, and we are not liable for losses or damages. Consult a qualified financial advisor before trading. Services are not subject to Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) or Form CRS, as they are educational only.
3.2 Risk Assessment Methodology We use expert analysis, proprietary data, and metrics like Volume, Open Interest, Delta, and Theta to assess and classify alert risks.
3.3 Risk Classification Alerts are classified as low, medium, or high risk based on our methodology, which may differ from standard definitions, considering factors like market volatility and expiration proximity.
3.4 Sole Authority We have sole authority to classify risks. Classifications reflect our expertise but do not eliminate risks. Users must independently evaluate trading decisions.
User Obligations
4.1 Compliance with Laws You agree to use Services in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including SEC, FTC, and Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) regulations governing financial education and options trading.

4.4 Data Usage We collect limited personal data (name, email, mobile number, payment details) to manage subscriptions, deliver Services, and improve functionality. Third-party subprocessors (e.g., Twilio for SMS) are used, and we are liable for their compliance. Data breaches will be reported within 72 hours per applicable laws. Request data access, correction, or deletion at support@theoptiontracker.com. We comply with CCPA, GDPR, and other privacy laws, sharing data only for payment processing, SMS delivery, or legal obligations.
4.5 Consent to SMS Alerts Frequency You consent to 0–20+ daily SMS alerts based on market activity (Section 2.2). Manage preferences in account settings; unsubscribing from SMS does not stop billing (Section 6.7).

Opt out via account settings; this does not cancel subscriptions (Section 6.7). Opt-out requests are processed within 24 hours with confirmation.
